You tell me what I am doing wrong to cause this on my hood?
I know it's a total PIA but I seriously wiped mine down almost every day. When I got home from work each day I walked around the car looking for bird crap or other things on the paint. I also carried a micro fiber towel with me at all times. If I saw anything on the car, I wiped it off right away. I wasn't as much worried about it looking good all the time as I was making sure no foreign materials were on the paint any longer than necessary.

My normal daily process was to dust the whole care with the California Duster, then use a high quality, CLEAN microfiber towel and Meguiars Quick Detailer to spot clean the whole car.

Some times, after a dirty rain, I'd rinse the car off with some plain water, wash it with No Rinse Car Wash and then dry it completely.

I know it's a lot of work but it's all comes down to how important is it to you to keep your investment looking it's best. I never regretted it. Especially when the dealer offered me $2000 more for the car on a trade in than I paid for it 3 years before.
